- Observation Healthy mulberry orchards under organic fertilization had 12% wilt incidence.
- Observation Diseased mulberry orchards under chemical fertilization had 85% wilt incidence.
- Observation Healthy orchard soils had a more complex and stable microbial co-occurrence network.
- Observation Healthy orchard communities were enriched in Stenotrophomonas.
- Observation Healthy orchard communities were enriched in Pseudomonas.
- Observation Healthy orchard communities were enriched in Mortierella.
- Observation Fusarium was enriched in diseased orchard soils.
- Observation Healthy orchard microbiomes had higher predicted potential for antibiotic biosynthesis and stress tolerance.
- Observation Healthy and diseased orchard soils differed markedly in metabolic pathways.
- Observation Diseased mulberry plants accumulated phytoalexins in an ineffective defense response.
- Observation Glycosylphosphatidylinositol-anchor biosynthesis was significantly downregulated in diseased soils.
- Mechanism The authors interpret the results as a pathogen strategy targeting host cell-surface architecture.
- Mechanism The authors identify a community-level defense mechanism.
